STENCH OF DECAY - Visions Beyon Dead 7''These Finnish masters of ancient death worship come back to rightfully establish their position as one of Europe's premiere names. Their new material sees the band refine their craft, with an even darker, heavier and meaner vibe and even more compact and focused songwriting than their already poser-decimating debut. Stench of Decay remain as shameless about their inspirations as they do flawless in their delivery. Think Demigod, think Funebre, think Abhorrence and, above all, think KILLER and CRUSHING... not to mention essential.

700 COPIES ON BLACK VINYL

KRYPTS - First 7''Krypts have returned, and no amount of warnings could save any nearby lifeforms from the lethal weapon that is this 7". Pure heaviness, even more brutal vocals harking to the days of Rottrevore and Disembowelment and pure riff malevolence. Streaks of dark and eerie melody emerge from under the wall of sonic brutality. The guitars have got even heavier, and the bass sound carries the weight of a ton's worth of dead hippos and about as much filth. This literally drips old-school evil in a way that has to be heard to be believed. The songs remains suffocating in delivery and unrepentant in their simplicity, yet epic and grandiose in scope. Make no mistake, this is the sound of death done right, and it only makes us wonder where they can take things next

To celebrate those releases, both bands will play live in Brussels, Belgium on Friday 20 May 2011:

Another breaking news: Later this year I'll release (in collaboration with Me Saco Un Ojo Records) a 12" featuring critically acclaimed DISMA 2010 demo + 2 new tracks. This 12" will be limited to 1000 copies and those 2 new tracks won't be available on any other release.

With such a debut demo and a more than consistent follow up in form of a 7” EP, Miasmal first’s album couldn’t be another mere recreational yet well oiled and full fuelled death metal retrospective killing machine, but a primordial axis when it comes to defend the legitimacy of the classical Swedish sound, and of the Stockholm school in particular. The fourth piece’s self titled LP, not only compiles and demonstrates their skills and competence as coagulated inkers of mordant down tuned songs (as already shown on their previous musical greeting cards) but as a matter of fact it proves that far away from being stuck in the fictional weakness of conformism and resting on their own gained laurels, they’ve worked hard and with dedication instead of remaining dormant. They have unquestionably found the equilibrium and the formula to grow in every sense and bring a heavy as fuck slab of obscure wax, the way everybody expected and wished form them and which has surpassed by far any expectations.

Check the news section of my site to hear a track taken from this Lp.

Check Dark Descent Records for the Cd version.

I would like to thank all the people who've already purchased copies of the STENCH OF DECAY and KRYPTS 7" Ep's! FYI, the white vinyl version of the KRYPTS 7" is now sold out from meand Me Saco Un Ojo.

Please note that all MIASMAL 12" album orders will be slightly delayed as a misprint on the insert has just been noticed. Since we want this release to be the best possible, we decided to reprint all the inserts. Please be patient, it won't be long! Thanx for your understanding. (This also concerns those who ordered it from Me Saco Un Ojo Records or elsewhere.

Please note that the CD version of the Resurecting in festering slime comp won't be released on Detest Records. It will instead be released on Agonia Records.

Please note that both bands will play the next day in The Netherlands at the Wolfsbane Records Festival along with ENTRAPMENT and NECROWRETCH. I'll be there with my distro.

A commemorative shirt of both gigs will be printed.

Check out the new gigs page on my site for more occasions to see Detest Records bands playing live such as the Chaos in Tejas Fest and the Ritual for the Dead one day festival put on by Iron Bonehead in Berlin on 5 November.
